People are not happy about these Oasis mannequins

A photo of a mannequin on display in a London branch of Oasis has been the subject of controversy as commenters argue the legs are too thin.

The photo was posted to Twitter - and, well, the legs do look a bit strange.

Many agreed that the mannequins were unrealistic.

@rhiannonlucyc @OasisFashion it just looks like they lost their mannequins legs and made do with match sticks.

But others thought the backlash to the ’skinny’ legs of the mannequin had a whiff of body-shaming

@rhiannonlucyc I have VERY thin legs and a normal sized body, I've always been laughed at because of my legs, please don't encourage it.

While others thought it was just a storm in a teacup.

A spokesperson for Oasis said that the mannequins were ’not intended to symbolise real people.

’Measuring over 6ft in height and without distinct facial features, our store mannequins are highly stylised to represent an artistic prop and are in no way any attempt to accurately portray true-to-life proportions’, a spokesperson said.

’Oasis is committed to understanding the concerns of our customers and understand the recent debates which have unfolded and therefore the business is in the process of reviewing new mannequins styles. ’
